Unusual price and volume movements can help identify stocks attracting increased market participation. On October 12, 2026, five stocks from the shared screener showed notable activity, with changes in both share prices and trading volumes. The comparison below uses the figures visible in your screenshot, without relying on broker articles.

Volume Conversion

Suzlon Energy

Suzlon Energy rose 5.24% to Rs 39.57, with trading volume reaching approximately 14.18 crore shares. This was around 2.46 times its three-day average volume of 5.75 crore shares. The screener also showed a 146.41% increase in three-day volume. The combination of a price gain and higher trading activity indicates increased participation in the stock during the session.

New India Assurance

New India Assurance gained 15.30% to Rs 187.02, making it the strongest price performer among the five selected stocks. Trading volume reached approximately 9.11 crore shares, compared with a three-day average of around 0.23 crore shares. This represents roughly 39.55 times the average volume, while the screener reported a 3,477% change in three-day volume. The unusually high activity makes this stock stand out in the comparison.

Zee Entertainment

Zee Entertainment advanced 5.74% to Rs 73.98, supported by trading volume of approximately 2.83 crore shares. Its three-day average volume stood at around 1.42 crore shares, putting the latest volume at nearly 1.99 times the average. The screener also reported a 98.79% change in three-day volume. The increase in activity alongside the price gain suggests stronger trading interest during the session.

Gallantt Metal

Gallantt Metal surged 20.00% to Rs 604.50, with trading volume reaching approximately 2.33 crore shares. The screenshot showed a three-day average volume of just 73,498 shares, making the current volume approximately 316.5 times the average. The screener reported a 30,687% change in three-day volume. Both the price move and the sharp increase in trading activity were exceptional, although the very low comparison-period average magnifies the volume ratio.

IFCI

IFCI gained 5.13% to Rs 70.80, while trading volume reached approximately 9.18 crore shares. Its three-day average volume was around 7.15 crore shares, placing current activity at approximately 1.28 times the average. The screener reported a 28.32% change in three-day volume. Compared with the other selected stocks, IFCI's volume increase was more moderate, but trading activity remained above its recent average.

Conclusion

Gallantt Metal recorded the largest current-volume-to-average ratio, followed by New India Assurance. New India Assurance also posted the strongest price gain among the five stocks, while Suzlon Energy and Zee Entertainment combined positive price movements with higher-than-average volume. IFCI showed a comparatively modest increase in trading activity.

Note: Unusually high volume can indicate increased market interest, but it does not by itself confirm that a price move will continue. Traders should also assess price structure, support and resistance, and subsequent trading sessions.
